Homebrew Doghashma Species Details

Canine Appearance

The doghashma are canine humanoids, with many shared features to hounds. Their teeth are canine, and they often have the bestial ears, snout, tail, and fur of dogs, but the figure of humanoids.

Ultimate Loyalty

The doghashma have unyielding divine loyalty. When a doghashma gives you their word or makes a promise, they physically cannot break it. This leads to some being very noble people, while others stop themselves from really every promising anything. They also, in some kind of cruel punishment for some, are loyal to life so much that they cannot die from age. 

Slaves

This loyalty was also the species' biggest curse for a few centuries. Because of their loyalty and versatile roles, they were enslaved constantly by countless others, and through torture until they promised, the doghashma became servants, forever being stuck in a cruel fate, as death would never find them in age. However, through countless doghashma rebelling, they have broken free of their leashes and chains, and roam the world often in seek of adventure, the strongly fought for freedom also burning in the souls of these people.
